WHEATON, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men’s and women’s cross country teams kicked off the weekend on a high note, each recording top-five finishes at the College of DuPage Invitational on Friday. With the women’s team earning a third-place finish and the men’s team holding down the fifth-place spot, each team has finished in the top-five in back-to-back races. Once again sophomore Sarah Mauel (Green Bay, Wis.) led the way with an impressive fifth-place finish in the women’s race with a time of 19:07.

Just a week after finishing second at the Falcon Invite, Mauel again led the way on a women’s team that’s finding its stride midway through the season. For the second straight race, freshman Breanna Suess (Luxemburg, Wis.) wasn’t far behind Mauel, finishing in 20th place with a time of 20:12. Junior Sarah Frelich (Denmark, Wis.) crossed the finished line just a minute later in 21:12 to finish in 40th place.

Sophomore Dalton Woodworth (Sparta, Wis.) continued to pace the men’s side, leading a group of four Phoenix runners who crossed the finish line within 30 seconds of one other. Woodworth crossed the finish line first for the Phoenix in a time of 26:36 to finish 19th, followed closely by senior Alexander Kimble (Green Bay, Wis.), who was just seconds behind with a time of 26:41 for a 24th-place finish. Freshman Austin Gokey (De Pere, Wis.) and junior Andrew Sorenson (Onalaska, Wis.), rounded out Green Bay’s top four finishers with times of 26:58 and 27:05 to finish in 32nd and 36th place, respectively.
